It has been three days.

Three days have passed since Allen entered the castle. During these three days, Alice and Shanna stayed at the entrance of this underground space. The two women did not speak, but waited in silence.

Suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar aura rose from the castle. I say familiar because once the aura is identified, it is known to be Alan's. It is strange because there are other things mixed in that aura.

Alice and Shanna looked at each other, both looking in the direction of the castle.

After a while, someone walked out of the castle, who else would there be besides Allen. The two women flew over immediately and met outside Allen's castle.

Allen looked a little dazed, and it felt like there was another person living in his body. When Alice saw him reach out and scratch his cheek, the corners of Alice's eyes immediately became moist. She stepped forward and said, "Creator, is that you?"

Allen came over and sighed: "It's me, but I will disappear soon and become part of Allen's will from then on. Alice, no, Alice..."

Stretching out his hand and gently holding Alice's face, Allen tremblingly said, "I'm sorry,

sorry. I should have let you sleep forever on that day, because of my selfishness, I let you be reborn in another form. But I left you again and let you live alone for so many years. What the hell have I done..."

The tears in the corners of Alice's eyes finally fell, and she shook her head desperately: "No, you don't need to apologize. Creator, from a very early age, I knew that I was a substitute for Alice. But I never hated you, because you As far as I'm concerned, you're my father too. I love you just as much as Iris."

"I love you, Dad."

What a familiar sentence, it only exists in the long memory. It was so long ago, like a dream from a previous life.

That sad night seemed to be before us again.

After leaving Su Luoshi, Lan Jie rode his horse to the Evil Wind Gorge. If Baicheng Suluo is a paradise, then Efengxia is undoubtedly a hell. The dark wind howls there all the year round, as if the devil from hell is whispering in the wind. The horse thief from Efeng Gorge had been hiding in the canyon for not a day or two, but the terrain in the canyon was complicated. Although Baicheng organized several crusades, they all ended in vain.

And this time the horse thieves in the Evil Wind Canyon will attack Baicheng in order to avenge the crusade a year ago.

The horse thieves had their own secret passage, which protected them from the raging winds of the canyon. As a hunter, Ranger naturally has a set of tracking skills. He found the trace left by the horse thief and followed him all the way to the depths of the canyon. It was already night, and the moon could not be seen from the canyon, and the canyon was shrouded in haze.

Several times, Lan Jie thought he lost it. Fortunately, he persisted in the end, and finally saw some firelight in the dark.

He chased to the lair of the horse thief, and from a distance he heard the loud laughter of the men and the screaming of the women. Lan Jie gritted his teeth and groped into the horse thief's lair. Some horse thieves were venting on the women they had captured. They didn't know that Lan Jie, an unexpected guest, had sneaked in.

Suddenly Lan Jie heard a soft drink, it was Alice's voice. Lan Jie raised his head, and Alice strode forward on a wooden bridge on both sides of the mountain wall. She seemed to have escaped, and Lan Jie was overjoyed. He didn't care to hide his figure, and jumped out and shouted: "Alice, I'm here!"

The horse thieves next to him were startled, and they jumped up, drawing their swords and rushing over, ignoring the woman beneath them. Lan Jie quickly chopped them down and headed towards the wooden bridge. But at this moment, the flames lit up on the cliff opposite, followed by the sound of a cannon.

Alice, who was almost running to the end, was suddenly overwhelmed by a burst of flames, and the shell fell beside her, the wooden bridge bomb. The impact of the explosion made Lan Jie stagger, and when he stood still, the wooden bridge had been bombed, and the wreckage of the bridge body fell to a place more than ten meters below. There, Lan Jie saw the girl who was crushed by several stones.

"No, no, it shouldn't be like this!"

Amidst the laughter of the horse thief on the opposite side, Lan Jie came to the foot of the mountain. He pushed away the stone and looked at the bloody girl, and Lan Jie burst into tears. He quickly squatted down and lifted the girl's head. When he met the girl, he knew that Alice could not be saved.

The girl opened her eyes and tried to put on a smile. She said weakly, "Don't cry, I'm fine."

"Yes, you will be fine. Let's go back now, and I will find the best doctor to treat you." Lan Jie said, hugging Alice.

The girl smiled and said, "No need, I'm dying. I know, I feel so light now, as if I'm about to fly."

"No, no, I won't let you go. Did you hear me, kid, live honestly, I won't let you fly!"

"No, it seems that this time, I can't do what you said." The girl looked at Lan Jie, showing a smile as bright as the sunshine in March: "I love you, Dad."

Then the eyes slowly closed.

At that moment, the world in front of Lan Jie seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and great sadness hit like a flood. The girl who had lived with him for nearly ten years finally called him father for the first time, but it was also the last time.

"why..."

"why!"

"Why take her away and give her back to me!"

Lan Jie raised his head and let out a hoarse cry. The corners of his mouth even cracked due to this, and the tears from his eyes mixed with the blood from the corners of his mouth, dripping down to his feet, splashing plum blossoms.

An arrow cut through the air and landed on Ranger's shoulder.

Above, horse thieves poured down shouting loudly.

Lan Jie gently put Alice down, and the girl smiled as if falling asleep. He tore off a corner of his clothes, wiped off the blood on the girl's face, and gently placed her hands on her chest. After doing all this, he silently turned around and drew his sword.

The next moment, a series of screams sounded from the foot of the mountain.

Blood was splattering.

The hot and humid blood splashed on Lan Jie's body, but it couldn't wash away the endless sadness in his heart. He just mechanically raised his hand and swung his sword, beheading all the horse thieves he could see.

That night, the horse thief in Efengxia became history. When the women who were captured by the horse thief returned to Suluo, all they knew was that a weeping demon killed the horse thief.

When the morning light fell into the canyon, Lan Jie, covered in blood, hugged the girl and left. He looked at the girl who seemed to be asleep, and said softly: "You will wake up again, I promise."

"Because we are called the gods of creation and destruction."

When Allen came back to his senses, he saw Alice's teary face. He raised his hand, gently wiped it off for her, and said, "He's gone."

Alice nodded.

"But he will always be here watching you." Allen pointed to his chest: "No matter what, you are his proudest daughter."

"I know."

"No, you don't know. He didn't tell you that there is a part of your body that belongs to Alice." Allen said softly: "So you are both Alice and Alice. You are not completely Alternatives, you know?"

Alice raised her head with a surprised expression.

Allen nodded vigorously: "It's true.

"

This time, tears welled up in Alice's eyes again, but a smile appeared on her face.

"Come on, it's time to go back.

"Alan sighed lightly.

Here he harvested another twilight will, and at the same time touched a sad soul. Unlike Taylor, Ranger is more of a minor character. He doesn't care about power and status, which can be seen from his refusal to join the mercenary group. He prefers to live his own life, but the appearance of the blood path makes him unable to resist his fate. But the loss of Alice made him throw himself into the bloody fate without hesitation.

All he has to do is walk to the end of the bloody road, sit on the throne named after destruction, and become the son of the twilight of that era. Then he created Alice before his instinct awakened, and let his daughter wake up in another form.

And the reason why I chose to create on Agares. Alice, simply because there was no life on Agares at the time, it would be a planet forgotten by the Sons of Twilight.

Leaving Kanon Heimen, return to Alice's castle. It took Alan another week to finally digest part of Ranger's experience and obtain his most precious power.

Absorbing Taylor's will, Taylor left him the endless sword suit. And Ranger gave Allen a combat skill. That is a combat technique created by Lan Jie in despair and regret, its name is...

dusk!

When Allen came out from behind the door that had been closed for a week, Shanna and Alice exchanged a look. Allen seems to have matured a lot, and now he has a sense of maturity that does not match his age.

In addition to his richer experience than his peers, accepting the will of Taylor and Ranger also means that he has two more lives than others. While accepting the will, Allen is equivalent to experiencing the lives of the two Taylors, carrying their joy, sorrow, pain and anger. Under the scouring of those emotions, he was able to not lose himself, and his willpower can already be called strong.

He came to the ruins by himself, and when he returned, Alan was alone. Shana and Alice didn't leave with him, and these two guardians, Allen, didn't want to be exposed to others. Allen will call them only when they are needed. Before that, they could live quietly in the ruins.

It was already evening when we returned to the Magic Ring City, and Allen was standing in the garden of the bedroom, in front of two tombstones. He reached out and gently stroked the tombstone, feeling the rough touch of his fingers. In the twilight light behind the distant fault, it was only at this moment that he really walked out of Lan Jie's life.

Allen exhaled heavily.

At the garden entrance, Lucy and Laura watched him quietly. In their eyes, Alan is a little more strange, which is the phenomenon after receiving the will of the dusk. They looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw a trace of worry.

If Allen continues to receive the will of the dusk, will he become a completely different person?

It was a worry that neither Lucy nor Laura had spoken about.

And this worry has been planted in their hearts since Allen received Taylor's will.
